All Links Great and Small
From today's surfing, here in CollisionWorks North, Portland, ME:
Three lovely items from the Department of Misogyny Department:
1. Lucas Krech has pointed to this review in the Times of Artfuckers. Lucas points out the problems with this review quite elegantly HERE, if they're not obvious enough.
2. Meanwhile, back in the playroom, Mattel is helpfully making a series of "pink, purple, or sparkly" Matchbox-inspired toy cars for girls, with a game called "Race to the Mall."
3. Rape victims in Missouri (and, judging from the comments, in other states, probably) are responsible for paying for their rape kits.
On somewhat of the lighter side . . .
4. Unfortunately, it isn't true itself, only a sharp joke, but someone has taken on the persona of "Truisms" artist Jenny Holtzer, HERE, to rib MoMA director Glenn Lowry about his recent difficulties. UPDATE: Oops. Didn't check the link -- MoMA didn't have much of a sense of humor about this, and took down the eCard "Holtzer" from their site. Some of it is saved and reprinted HERE.
And on much more of the lighter side, how would you most like to be woken up in the morning? Well, if you can't have THAT, wouldn't it be nice to be woken up like this?
5. An alarm clock that speaks to you in the voice of Stephen Fry.
